Keep choosing you like Simone Biles!
Read more: Keep choosing you like Simone Biles!My mental health is my priority always. I learnt that the hard way when others and their state of mind almost subsumed mine. I chose me. I am pleased and applaud Simone Biles for choosing herself too. I think there is no other black young woman that personifies visually what audacity truly entails. She tells…

Keep the ‘public’ in public health!
Read more: Keep the ‘public’ in public health!Last week the U.S Surgeon General issued an advisory that declared ‘misinformation as a public health threat.’ In a blue document with massive bold letters in white, he argued that we need to begin the process of confronting misinformation by ‘building a healthy information environment.’ I was intrigued and kept scrolling down the document to…

Keep giving yourself away to God!
Read more: Keep giving yourself away to God!My life is not my own. So I give myself away so you can use me. This song by William McDowell is my keep as I start this week. This is the week where I learn whether it’s time or not for God’s plans to be fulfilled in his child. So if God then is…

Keep being Radiant!
Read more: Keep being Radiant!Things that combine intellect and instinct are rare. They are like a string bean. Tall, but compact, yet full of insights that would make you green. Their seeds are not only clean, but desirable and plump in pods that are always ready for transportation, transformation too. That everything that combines intellect and instinct will under…

Keep looking as you gift yourself the power to say no!
Read more: Keep looking as you gift yourself the power to say no!We come home to ourselves. Our realized desiring selves. We also come home to spaces that are loving, spaces that are giving, spaces that are nurturing, spaces full of awareness, spaces that enable looking. Of all these spaces, looking is my keep for today. Bell Hooks once described a power in looking. A power also…

Keep knowing that there is still a pandemic!
Read more: Keep knowing that there is still a pandemic!The other night my husband shared a story. About the patients he met during his clinic day. Many of them were black and brown folks like him that day. All with something to say. Like how they refused to get vaccinated. Even today, many black and brown people still refuse to get vaccinated. It’s all…

Keep illuminating the world!
Read more: Keep illuminating the world!Illuminating. That’s my word for the day. I am intrigued by its meaning. Webster’s defines it as providing insight and clarity. Becoming highly informative too. Macmillan was my preferred definition. The idea of providing new and useful information so that something becomes clearer and easier to understand makes the word an important tool to which…

Keep your outer spaces as I stride in other spaces.
Read more: Keep your outer spaces as I stride in other spaces.I said what the f…k today. I rarely curse and not in writing. I get it. Space matters. So does money. Being rich is a privilege. And yes you have the right to spend your hard earned money however you like. So I woke up cheering for you, cheering for your blue origins, cheering for…

Keep stories of mothers, airplanes, and children!
Read more: Keep stories of mothers, airplanes, and children!On nights we make believe, I tell the story of the old lady who lived in a shoe. It’s a short story and my kids seem to like my many take on the lady. Like why a shoe, or why so many children? Why even feed them one by one? Why didn’t she even know…

Keep a gentle ease with water at indoor pools!
Read more: Keep a gentle ease with water at indoor pools!We went by water yesterday. My kids and I. Not a big water park as before. But a small indoor pool perfect for cooling down the rays of heat of a truly scorching summer. I didn’t want to go. I still remember the meltdown from our prior excursion to a water park. I didn’t even…

Keep change with life lessons!
Read more: Keep change with life lessons!Who are the bearers of messages most important to our lives? How are they helping you actively work for change? For me these days, black authors. I find myself reading and reading books from authors who voices are amplified more so in death than while alive. Audre Lorde first comes to mind. Her words have…

Keep knowing the power of walking together.
Read more: Keep knowing the power of walking together.There is a power that emerges when you gift yourself and your family, the simple and freeing pleasures of walking. We gave that gift to baby almost 2 days after his arrival at home. We took him for his first walk along the paths of Forest Park. The pandemic was still breathtaking in its design.…
